3 Ways to Have Deep Conversations
When you first meet someone, it can be difficult to have deep conversations and avoid small talk. Here are 3 easy techniques to have better conversations and meaningful interactions.
How to have Deep Conversations
Tip #1: To discuss a random topic, be your own wingman and start the conversation with:
- “My friend asked a great question the other day, ask your question here. “
- “My friend told me a great story the other day, tell your story here.“
To better gauge your audience, redirect the conversation by asking for their input:
- “What are your thoughts?”
- “What do you think I should do in this situation?”
Tip #2: To encourage storytelling response, begin your questions with “how” or “why,”
- “Why did you decide to travel there?”
- “Why did you choose that career path?”
- “How has your week been?”
Encourage thought-provoking conversations by avoiding yes or no questions and asking “what do you do?” It is hard to continue a conversation from a yes or no response.
Tip #3: Open the conversation with a personal or vulnerable story. Keep in mind the area you want the conversation to be focused on.
Others will likely open up when you show vulnerability. This is a great way to transition into difficult conversations and learn about your partner. Remember to be cognizant of the other person by asking one of the following questions:
- “What have you been working on?”
- “What are you looking forward to?”
- “Have you had a similar experience?”
- “What have you been struggling with?”
All in all, learn interesting things by asking interesting questions. Use these tips to build meaningful connections and have better conversations.
